Children's literature prides itself with its plethora of plucky pachyderms, and we're pleased as punch to present the latest creator to populate the shelves. Little Elliot is a young polka-dotted elephant that's looking for adventures, Mike Curato is the author and illustrator behind him, and Kids Ink is where you can meet him on Sunday, September 18th, at 2pm!

Mike began Little Elliot's stories with Little Elliot, Big City in 2014. He followed that up with Little Elliot, Big Family in 2015. Little Elliot, Big Fun follows the small elephant and his best friend Mouse as they explore the carnival and discover just how intimidating having fun can be sometimes.

Mike Lives in Brooklyn, NY, where he's planning at least one more Little Elliot book.
